Washington 3, Buffalo 1

'Buffalo fan favorite Rob Ray skated a two-minute shift at the end of the game and received a standing ovation. The franchise leader in penalty minutes, he becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season and may have played his last home game as a Sabre. "They accepted me very early here and I think if they didn't, I probably wouldn't have stayed as long as I have," Ray said. "They are a very, very big part of what I was able to do here."'
